A radish pickling tank

Abstract

This application discloses a radish pickling tank, which includes: a support platform, on the upper surface of which a tank body is fixedly mounted; an anti-buoyancy pressing component, which is disposed in the inner cavity of the tank body and consists of a pressure plate and a lifting and moving structure; and a needle-piercing component. To address the problem in existing radish pickling tanks where radishes tend to float on the surface due to buoyancy, resulting in insufficient pickling, this application designs an anti-buoyancy pressing component. This component automatically presses down the radishes, ensuring they are fully immersed in the brine. Simultaneously, the needle-piercing component automatically pierces the radishes while pressing them down, allowing the brine to quickly penetrate the radishes through the needle holes, shortening the salt diffusion time and improving pickling efficiency.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of radish processing equipment technology, and in particular to a radish pickling tank. Background Technology

[0002] Pickling radishes is a traditional food processing technique. The radishes are dehydrated and flavored by soaking them in brine. When pickling radishes, it is usually necessary to use a pickling tank for pickling.

[0003] However, when using traditional pickling tanks, the density of radishes is usually lower than that of high-concentration brine. During the pickling process, they tend to float on the surface of the tank, and the parts exposed to the air have difficulty contacting the brine, resulting in uneven pickling or even spoilage. At the same time, the dense structure of the radish skin slows down the diffusion of salt into the interior, which greatly prolongs the pickling cycle, restricts production efficiency and increases energy consumption.

[0004] In other words, existing technologies have the following technical problems: ordinary radish pickling tanks tend to cause radishes to float on the surface, resulting in uneven pickling. Therefore, a new radish pickling tank is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art by providing a radish pickling tank.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a radish pickling tank, the radish pickling tank comprising:

[0007] A support platform, wherein a pool body is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support platform;

[0008] An anti-floating pressing component is installed in the inner cavity of the pool body. The anti-floating pressing component consists of a pressing plate and a lifting and moving structure. The anti-floating pressing component is used to press down the pickled radishes.

[0009] A needle-piercing assembly is disposed inside the pool body and is used to automatically pierce radishes.

[0010] Furthermore, the pressure plate is disposed in the inner cavity of the pool body and slides with the pool body, and the pressure plate is provided with a plurality of leakage holes.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting and moving structure includes a fixed cylinder, a moving sleeve, and a servo motor. The fixed cylinder is fixedly installed at the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the pool body. The moving sleeve is slidably connected in the inner cavity of the fixed cylinder, and the top end of the moving sleeve is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the pressure plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a guide protrusion is provided on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder, and a guide groove is provided on the outer surface of the movable sleeve to cooperate with the guide protrusion. The guide protrusion and the guide groove of the movable sleeve are in sliding cooperation.

[0013] Furthermore, a fixing block is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the movable sleeve, and a threaded rod is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the fixing sleeve. The threaded rod passes through the fixing block and is threadedly engaged with the fixing block.

[0014] Furthermore, the servo motor is located on the bottom surface of the support platform, and the end of the output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the threaded rod.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] Please see Figure 1-5As shown, a radish pickling tank includes:

[0033] Support platform 1, wherein a pool body 3 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support platform 1;

[0034] Anti-floating pressing component 4 is installed in the inner cavity of the pool body 3. The anti-floating pressing component 4 is composed of a pressing plate 401 and a lifting and moving structure. The anti-floating pressing component 4 is used to press down the pickled radish.

[0035] A needle-piercing component 5 is disposed inside the pool body 3 and is used to automatically pierce the radish.

[0036] Through the above technical solution, the anti-floating pressing component 4 can automatically press down the pickled radish, ensuring that the radish is fully immersed in the brine. At the same time, the needle-piercing component 5 can automatically pierce the radish while pressing it down, so that the brine can quickly penetrate into the radish through the needle holes, shorten the salt diffusion time, and improve the pickling efficiency.

[0037] The pressure plate 401 is disposed in the inner cavity of the pool body 3 and slides with the pool body 3. The pressure plate 401 has a plurality of leakage holes 402.

[0038] Specifically, the pressure plate 401 is a flat plate structure adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the inner cavity of the pool body 3, preferably made of corrosion-resistant metal material or food-grade engineering plastic. The leakage holes 402 are evenly distributed on the surface of the pressure plate 401, with a hole diameter of 5-20mm and a hole spacing of 15-50mm, which are used to allow salt water to pass through while preventing the radish from floating.

[0039] The lifting and moving structure includes a fixed cylinder 403, a moving sleeve 404 and a servo motor 407. The fixed cylinder 403 is fixedly installed at the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the pool body 3. The moving sleeve 404 is slidably connected in the inner cavity of the fixed cylinder 403. The top end of the moving sleeve 404 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the pressure plate 401.

[0040] The inner wall of the fixed cylinder 403 is provided with a guide protrusion 4031, and the outer surface of the movable sleeve 404 is provided with a guide groove that cooperates with the guide protrusion 4031. The guide protrusion 4031 and the guide groove of the movable sleeve 404 are in sliding fit.

[0041] A fixing block 405 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the movable sleeve 404, and a threaded rod 406 is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the fixing sleeve 403. The threaded rod 406 passes through the fixing block 405 and is threadedly engaged with the fixing block 405.

[0042] The servo motor 407 is installed on the bottom surface of the support platform 1. The output shaft end of the servo motor 407 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the threaded rod 406. Through this technical solution, the operation of the servo motor 407 can drive the threaded rod 406 to rotate, thereby driving the fixed block 405 to move downward, and then driving the moving sleeve 404 to move downward, so that the pressure plate 401 is pressed down. Thus, the radish is pressed down by the pressure plate 401 and fully sinks into the brine for pickling.

[0043] The acupuncture assembly 5 includes a support plate 501, a fixing seat 503, a needle 504, and a support spring 505. The support plate 501 is disposed at the arc-shaped wall of the fixing cylinder 403 and slides with the fixing cylinder 403. One end of the support spring 505 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support plate 501, and the other end of the support spring 505 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the pool body 3. The support plate 501 has several groove openings 502.

[0044] A plurality of fixing seats 503 are provided, and each fixing seat 503 is correspondingly provided with a groove opening 502. The fixing seats 503 are fixedly provided at the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the pool body 3, and a plurality of needles 504 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing seats 503.

[0045] Preferably, the fixing seat 503 is disposed on the bottom wall of the pool body 3 corresponding to the groove opening 502. 3-10 needles 504 are vertically fixedly installed on the upper surface of each fixing seat 503. The needles 504 are made of food-grade stainless steel with a diameter of 0.5-2 mm and a length of 30-100 mm, and the needle tip is conical.

[0046] A support rod 506 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the pressure plate 401.

[0047] As the pressure plate 401 moves downward under the drive of the movable sleeve 404, after the pressure plate 401 contacts the radish and continues to move downward to a set height, the support rod 506 on its lower surface first contacts the upper surface of the support plate 501. As the pressure plate 401 continues to move downward, the support rod 506 pushes the support plate 501 downward against the elastic force of the support spring 505. The downward movement of the support plate 501 causes its upper surface to lower, so that the needle 504, which was originally located below the groove opening 502, relatively passes through the groove opening 502 and pierces the interior of the radish located between the pressure plate 401 and the support plate 501. The support spring 505 is used to push the support plate 501 and the support rod 506 upward to reset to the initial position when the pressure plate 401 moves upward to reset, so that the needle 504 is hidden again under the groove opening 502.

[0048] The initial state of the anti-floating pressing component 4 is as follows: the servo motor 407 is not working, the moving sleeve 404 is located at the upper stroke end of the fixed sleeve 403, and the pressure plate 401 is located at the upper part of the inner cavity of the pool body 3; the support plate 501 of the needle component 5 is at the upper limit position under the action of the support spring 505, and the needle 504 does not protrude from the upper surface of the support plate 501.

[0049] After radishes are placed into pool 3 and brine is added, the servo motor 407 is activated, driving the threaded rod 406 to rotate forward. The rotating threaded rod 406, through its threaded engagement with the fixed block 405, pushes the fixed block 405, the moving sleeve 404, and the pressure plate 401 to move downwards synchronously and smoothly. The downward-moving pressure plate 401 applies pressure to the floating radishes, causing them to overcome buoyancy and sink into the brine for pickling. Depending on the height of the radish stack and the length of the support rod 506, the support rod 506 contacts and begins to press down on the support plate 501 during the middle or end of the downward stroke of the pressure plate 401. The piercing needle 504 then pierces through the groove opening 502 and inserts into the radish. The pressure plate 401 can remain at the set pressing position to maintain pressure on the radish.

[0050] After pickling, the servo motor 407 reverses, driving the threaded rod 406 to rotate in the opposite direction. The moving sleeve 404 moves the pressure plate 401 upward. In the initial stage of the upward movement of the pressure plate 401, the support rod 506 rises accordingly, and the support spring 505 pushes the support plate 501 upward to the initial position, while the needle 504 retracts below the groove opening 502. The pressure plate 401 continues to move upward to the initial position, completing one work cycle, making it easier to remove the pickled radish.
